Amit was New in town he had just landed a big gig as a
departmental head at one of the biggest MNCs. Now he was earlier located at Delhi
and had no experience being in the city of Mumbai. He and his wife had moved
into Hiranandani in powai while his office was located in BKC. Amit and his
wife Nalini were having an argument over amit being too devoted to work.

"Amit you no longer time for me all you do is work nowadays, you were not like
this before. We used to go out in the weekends and go to the movies during the week;
nowadays you tend to bring in your work to home."

"Nalini you don’t understand I need to put in the extra effort to make sure that
I get the hang of the job. On top of that you know I drive to work and it takes
me almost one hour of drive each ways to reach office it really drains me out
after that I have little strength left to do anything else."

"I know but your personal life is also important don’t you think, the kids are
also getting fussy as we have not gone out much after moving to the city."

"So what do you want me to do quit my job."

"No I don't want you to do that I just want you to make some time for us too."

"Well I am trying but it’s a new job and it will take me some time to get used
to the processes."

"Fine at least don’t bring work home do it while you are at office or in your
car."

"In the car are you crazy! I am driving the damn car I can’t do anything else."

"So find someone else to drive your car."

"Don't you think I have thought of that, of hiring a personal driver, so that I
can do some work in the car too? But these driver agencies just keep giving me
leads and expect me to talk to the drivers. I don't have time for that."

"If you are really ready to hire a driver then I have a solution, I just came across
this driver hiring service called SAAARTHI.COM, which
does all the work from selecting to discussing salary with the drivers. You just need to meet
the driver to test his driving skills."

"Really but where did you learn of it?"

"One of my colleagues at work just used this service and she was really happy
with it. "

Nowadays people are more and more engaged in their work,
working close to 12-14 hours a day. In these situations these individuals
prefer hiring a personal driver for their day to day purposes. But just hiring a driver is it enough, in this
day and age when it’s almost daily news of one house robbed after the other, It
is essential to learn the background of the individual you are hiring.

Key Things to note while hiring a driver are:

Is he living near you or far away as an
individual who lives nearby can come in case of an emergency such as need to go
to the hospital at night. Saaarthi.com
makes sure to find you a driver that lives nearby to tackle such situations.

What is his background, from what
background does he come is he someone who will suit your personal requirements.
For that Saaarthi.com does a complete
background verification so that something doesn’t come up later.

What is his criminal background, while
most driver agencies do a background verification of drivers they fail to take
into account what is his criminal background? Even companies like Ola and Uber
are doing Police clearance certification for all their drivers. Saaarthi.com is the only company that
prides itself in doing a police clearance certification for all its driver.

What is his work history? Its important
to learn of the work history of any individual as work history tells us whether
the individual is going to stick with us or is going to leave once a good
opportunity shows itself. Saaarthi.com does
a complete analysis of the drivers work profile to check his stickiness.

Who’s going to take care in case the driver
goes on leave? While most driver agencies shrug off their responsibilities
after having helped you hire a driver and receiving the payment. Saaarthi.com believes in taking care of
your needs after having helped you hire, that is why Saaarthi.com provides a dedicated
Relationship manager who stays in contact with you and your driver.

Mr Patel had applied for the service of a
driver providing service and they had provided him with around 10-15 candidate's
numbers to call them up and to set a meeting with them. He had called up every
one of them and most of them never picked up his call and the others were a no
show at the scheduled meeting and Mr Shah was infuriated by this, so he called
up the service provider to give them an earful.

"Hello? I am Mr Patel and I had asked for a
driver few weeks back?"

"Ohhh yes Mr Patel, how did it go with the
candidates we had suggested for you?"

"How did it go?! I will tell you how it went!
None of them have responded to my calls, its been almost a month now that I
came to you and you didn’t even bother to follow up with me about it !"

"Sorry sir, but I am sure one of our
representatives would have called you up, to check the progress you have made."

"Don’t give me that crap now, no one ever
called me from your office, I am sure you guys might have forgotten about me or
maybe it’s just that you don’t value your customers!"

"Sir, there has been some
misunderstanding, how about we call up the candidates ourselves and ask them to
contact you ASAP"

"No need for that! I am done with you guys! Cancel
my service right now! I am going to opt for some other service provider."

Mr Patel Learned of Saaarthi from his
friend and how a R.M. was always there to ensure that an Interview happened.

“Hello, I am Mr Patel and would like to hire
a permanent driver.”

“Hello Mr Patel, Thank You for calling
SAAARTHI.COM, we will provide you a list of CV’s based on your requirement once
you select the candidate we will arrange for the face to face meeting where one
of our R.M.’s will accompany the Driver.”

After a few days.

“Hello this is Mr Patel I am really happy
with your process, At least it’s 10 Times better than the other services”

Mr Parekh is a Managing Director of a private firm, He had asked his personal assistant to hire a personal chauffeur for him. It had been a couple of days since so he called her in to his office.

“So Rekha what happened about that personal
chauffeur, I had asked you to hire for me?

“Sorry sir for the delay, I have contacted
a lot of agencies in Mumbai, but it’s been tough to find one, to be true”

“Didn’t you get the contact details of a
couple of drivers from these agencies?”

“Yes sir and I have been calling all of
them this whole week”

“And?”

“Sir, the drivers make appointments but
never show up! It’s been quite frustrating.”

“Why would they do that now? Haven’t you
talked to the guys from these agencies?”

“I did sir, but they just make excuses
every time I call them and say that they would get back to us as soon as possible.”

“How are we to get this sorted now?! I need
a driver in the next two weeks!”

“Sir, may I suggest you about a company, of
whom I have heard about from Mr Arvind the CFO.”

“Sure, tell me”

“This company’s name is Saaarthi.com and they
personally take care of all the appointments and follow up etc. they even
provide you a Video resume for the driver so that you need not meet N number of
people before selecting one.”

OH is it? That’s really interesting! So why
don’t you call them up and see if they can hire a driver for us? , These other
agencies have turned out to be really useless.”

“OK, sir.”

That Evening:

“Sir, The company saarthi.com seems to be
really efficient they have already sent 3 Video resumes for us to shortlist
from.”

“Really! That was quite efficient. If only
the other agencies were so efficient, I would have already found myself a good
driver. Show me the resumes and let’s schedule an appointment for tomorrow
itself”
